TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description is consistent with the provided annotations (destructiveHint: true). Since the name and function already strongly imply the destructive nature of creation, the description adds very little unique behavioral context beyond what is already captured in the annotations and title.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The definition is highly efficient. Each sentence serves a purpose: identifying the action, specifying the resource and scope, and listing the necessary permissions. There is zero waste in the language used.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having an extremely complex schema supporting detailed features like inclusion/exclusion filters, uptime alerts, and organization UUID management, the description is exceedingly brief. It fails to mention the tool's capacity for complex rule-based configuration, which is a key part of what makes this tool powerful.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With schema description coverage at 100%, the input schema fully defines all parameters (including complex filter structures). The description adds no semantic value to the parameters themselves, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'endpoint group,' providing an unambiguous purpose. This specific naming and verb clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like `action1_list_endpoint_groups` or `action1_update_group`.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The tool specifies the required permission ('Perm: manage_endpoints'), which helps guide usage. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus other creation or configuration tools, making the guidance minimal.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
